How do I make route model binding work in Laravel during unit tests?

Most of my unit tests use WithoutMiddleware so I can test the controller and the resource endpoint. However route model binding is a middleware, so the controllers aren't getting the models they need.

This was my question, and it may not be relevant anymore. It used to be that laravel tests could use middleware or not use middleware. So the route-model-binding would be on or off along with everything else. Now Laravel tests support the omission of specific middle-wares. So you can use something like this... and keep other middleware on including the binding stuff.

namespace Tests\Feature;
use App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken;
use ...
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseTransactions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithFaker;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithoutMiddleware;
use Tests\TestCase;

class BankDisplayControllerTest extends TestCase{

    use DatabaseTransactions;

    //use WithoutMiddleware;

    protected function setUp(){
        parent::setUp();

        $this->withoutMiddleware([VerifyCsrfToken::class]);
    }
   ...
